Exam Content Over the past year and beyond, we have witnessed the media, community members, and political leaders criticizing the work of law enforcement, as well as criminal justice and security organizations. As a result, political leaders have recommended defunding the police, or reducing the budget of other organizations. This move by the political body has created a problem in the enforcement of laws and with retaining law enforcement, criminal justice, and security personnel; thus, there has been an increase in crime and a high rate of resignations and retirements. There appears to be a morale problem in these agencies. Assume you’re a human resources manager for a law enforcement agency or a criminal justice, or security organization. You have been asked by the chief administrative officer to prepare a report for your organization analyzing the current morale problem.
